Eddie Van Halen - Top Gun Theme

[TheDarkace94]

I first heard this song at an air show I thought it was the most impressive song I've heard. God bless USA

[ultimajoe777]

What's with all the comments about the artist? Just enjoy this awesome anthem already!

By the way Chuck Norris can't even FATHOM a theme like this, let alone even tap to it!

[enricolant]

a question please to whom knows the answer: What has to do Van Halen with Top Gun Theme, since it was played by Steve Stevens and written by Harold Faltermeyer?

[Andrewellison1630]

It aint Van Halen its Steve Stevens!

[CoolKodyP]

@Andrewellison1630 Who Cares It Rocks Eddie or no

[weird4productions]

This is the song that plays when I run in slow motion.

[jetsat100]

oh .i thought ,this is Richie Sambora...

[Jayoriley]

what did eddie van halen have to do with this song, because ive never seen him play it and i cant find no record of him writing it, did he write the solo or something?

[aymeric63000]

great music ! I like Top Gun, I love music !

[MrMcGuire1000]

It's a nice piece, but Eddie Van Halen hasn't played anything this simple since he was about 10.

[MrJownby]

Eddie Van Halen my ASS>.... LOL

[DragonWater14]

@MrJownby the guy who plays this is billy idols guitarist Steve Stevens

[zrhinier]

I've come to learn that on YouTube some video titles will never ever be changed by the uploader.

[motleycrue24]

@plaid4u haha thats funny

[fastold]

suddenly I have the need.....the need for speed

[DTPVH]

it is steve stevens but i can see why people would think it is eddie. it has the same kinda vibe as the dreams outro solo.

[maccor22]

This piece of music was written by Harold Faltermeyer actually.

[helimech60]

Steve Stevens is an under rated guitarist,and one of his idols is EVH.

[puppy2000]

@helimech60 f u cunt

[spankyham911]

wrong DUMBASSES. it's written by Dragonforce. duh

[aleksandarfriscic]

EVH wrote solo,Stevens wrote theme

[Titansrock1028]

OMFG what are you fucking retarted its not fucking Eddie Van Halen Still WTF , disrespectful.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[RickguitarristStrato]

It isn't EVH's, it is from SATRIANNI

[LawrenceGordon92]

@RickguitarristStrato no its steve stevens

[ydoucare55]

Sad to see how badly Eddie Van Halen has been mis credited for this tune.

[rbrine01]

Damn EVH is awesome.

[InvincibleBrent]

OP is a faggot

[MetallicBill]

PPL apparently FORGOT what EVH sounds like during his Sabbatical...rate this comment HIGH!!!!

[youngdz79]

[LSSJBardock]

[MarksPoems]

if this was eddie playing, it would've been 10 times faster, and with more finger tapping. hmm kinda like that idea. who else? :)

[Joey6547]

this is not eddie van halen you idiot....it's steve stevens...

[aweezieprod]

Its was actually written by steve stevens, and the name it is refered to the most as, is Top Gun Anthem. Not trying to be an ass or anything, but these are the facts :)

[MrThePerson22]

Steve stevens *cough cough

[EliSexyton]

Not EVH

[backinblack751]

@EliSexyton WELLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... ITS NOT.... THANKS FOR STATING THE FUCKING OBVIOUS

[rkc5150]

OK who's the moron that thinks Eddie Van Halen wrote / played this??? It's a good tune but not even CLOSE to Eddie's phrasing and depth of songwriting. Thanks for the good laugh, and good song!

[goemonronin]

yep steve stevens, good guitarist but he is no EVH

[mireaux7]

this isnt evh. anyone can tell, this isnt ed's style of playing.

[shagr14]

Ummmm would be nice if this was, but its not this is Steve Stevens. Even funnier, look at the video popup from itunes, it says right in the title who did this.

[bigdille84]

this isnt eddie...

[zipzapjack]

this is a beautiful tune,I can`t say it any better than that just beautiful.

[zipzapjack]

Hey I agree, the song is awesome, but the artist made it that way to be awesome.

[zipzapjack]

You stupid, thats steve stevens.

[Ramon609]

@zipzapjack does annyone care? its about the song not the artist

[TheDuckhunter07]

[Ramon609]

[moostrength]

Whoever put this is Eddie Van Halen is fucking retarded. It's Steve Stevens, from Atomic Playboys fame and later the guitarist for most of Billy Idols work of late. Fucking idiots.

[Ramon609]

[guilmon223]

jjust watched the movie this morining i love it

FLIP THE BRID lolo

[Etranger11x]

Don't really care. In my humble opinion Eddie Van Halen is the best guitarplayer ever lived. He's not just a great guitar player, he's also a great composer. That can't be said about so called guitar heroes.

[plasticaholic]

@Etranger11x So true ! Ed reinvented revolutionized and revived the guitar in the 70s when things were stagnant, He is the master and has never been outdone..

[TheCoyote39]

yeah, its steve stevens.great song though.

[rockncleve]

with pee wee herman on bass and linda lovelace on drums yea  yea aint the internet neat ??

[free2bekirk]

watch the vid this steve stevens in case no one know who he is, steve stevens was billiy idols lead guitaritst in the 80's

[MrVesa92]

lol....Fail....

[wariogod]

stevens did the original but van halen did another version

[Causalspark]

Why can't people who like the songs figure out who played it?

[0adireita]

Steve Stevens? a friend of mine told me it was van halen. but it sounds amazing anyways

[russindendumma]

Eddie who?

this is Sir Steve Stevens damnit

[shikasasu147]

Give credit where credit is DUE!!! It's a respect sort of thing...

[Silvioigor]

This is Steve Stevens

[zrhinier]

This song makes me want get up & be productive instead of zoning out in front of the computer.

[shoulin56]

Van halen is not this good melodically. Yes it is Steve Stevens

[MarshallEFarris]

This song was actually recorded and performed originally by Steve Stevens.

[jbyrd0861]

steve stevens....eddie is a common misconception

[Krueger841]

some people are so not informed !!!

but I guess this is a joke :)))

[johnroymusic]

NOT Van Halen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[AlixSpawn]

The right title is "Top Gun Anthem".

[AlixSpawn]

+1. Steve Stevens, not EVH.

[mrscaniav8r]

82 missed on the "like" button :O WHAT!!!?? 

[paintchip173]

Look it up dumb asses under Grammies. Steve Stevens won a fucking Grammy for this. And no he didn't win your Grammy, she's at home getting it on with the neighbor's dog.

[paintchip173]

Look it up dumb asses under Grammies. Steve Stevens won a fucking Grammy for this. And no he didn't win your Grammy, she's at home getting it on with the neighbor's dog.

[vayankee]

im sorry but thhe sound is more eddie thats how he plays cnt u hear it u so called rock musicians. the high pitched sounds the way the music moves u could tell it only sounds different because it wasnt with the rest of the band and please billy idols guitar sounds nothing like this so stfu pricks.

[RemenantxSnail]

@vayankee who cares what it sounds like. facts are facts

[oWoeAlas]

Yes it's Steve Stevens, not van halen, not satriani, not vai, not malmsteen not who ever.

It's so lame and poor... there 200000 comments and at least 199999 coments 'bout " THIS IS NOT VAN HALEN"... or whos better! all of them are fucking ingenious guitarplayers!

After 2000000000 coments he's got it! ...and most of u insults cause he's made a mistae... fu guys. I feel ashame that i have to tell u this.

so PLEAS SHUT THE FUCK UP AND JUST LISTEN to the song!

[guitarmartin10]

@oWoeAlas asshole just cuz you cant play doesnt mean you can go slagging off all of the good players

[AlexFoxUK]

@oWoeAlas This isn't Van Halen. Did you know that?

[itBLEEDSitBREATHS]

@oWoeAlas a fucking men

[Jesseclvrt]

@oWoeAlas TL;DR

[puppy2000]

@oWoeAlas comments. not coments muthafucker

[chuvv]

Definitely Steve Stevens (Billy Idol's guitarist) and Harold Faltemeyer on synths. Check the CD cover or iTunes or wherever you got this from.

[fucia11]

IDIOT STEVE STEVENS PLAYS THIS... NOT EDDIE he couldnt come close to the sweetness of this steve puts emotion into playing, eddie tries to put emotion into it

[PDKing]

This isn't van halen, it's joe satriani

[punishr36]

LMFAO,, Eddie plays the computer drums. lol

[blazeingfire100]

if this was really eddie you could tell 

[ajnashlea]

NOT Eddie Van Halen.

[craig6944]

Structure of comments for this video are as follows: An angry statement saying that this is Steve Stevens playing, not Eddie Van Halen, possibly followed by an insult and lots of exclamation marks.

[MINISLASH0]

what kind of name is steve stevens?

[begischristlord]

@MINISLASH0 the kind of name that goes to someone who will kill you with their guitar skills, your head will simply explode when you hear him

[MINISLASH0]

@begischristlord he honestly sounds like a more average 80s guitar player.

[acecepeda]

My God how Ignorant are these guys... This is STEVE STEVENS... not VAN HALEN. If van halen plays this it will sound different. Thats not Eddies playing signatures there

[d3vilofdreams121]

Let me clear...((EDDIE VAN HALEN OR JOE SATRIANI)), didnt performed this TOP GUN THEME>>>IT WAS MADE AND PLAYED BY ""LEGENDARY~ STEVE STEVENS ~""!!

Steve Stevens...Okay..so plz stop the confusion!

[juanchogutro]

According to GH3 it's "Van Halen" but we all know it's Steve... So STFU!

[begischristlord]

@juanchogutro according to me, your retarded, don't get your facts from some shitty "music" video game

[dorschmann]

do ur research before posting a vid. dont just assume its evh cuz the guitar sounds similar (which actually isnt true if u know eddie)

[mastrospeed]

This is Steve Stevens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drewid2006]

it IS steve stevens, FACK !!! i was wrong and I play guitar too. This guy used to play for billy idol and it just sounds sooo much like VAI, sorry.

[drewid2006]

ur ALL wrong its Steve Vai. He was the guitar player for Frank Zappas band. He also did the HALO theme song among alot of other great stuff.

[Beaxed]

@drewid2006 its Steve Stevens.... period!!!!!!

[giaisbomb]

Don't even remotely sound like Edward's fucking style. I never heard of Steve Stevens? It is good tune here, minus the fucking gay-ass piano or keyboards.

[biscuits4dinner]

Steve stevens, idiots!!

[MovieMad007]

@biscuits4dinner - dont u just love YouTube! All this confusion!!! Its Steve Stevens, written by Harold Faltermeyer

[hinotai]

i thought it was Joe Satraini

[zkotch333]

is steve stevens fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aaronalpha147]

it sounds exactley like joe satrianis version

[jjlwis]

there is no spoon

[Beaxed]

@jjlwis thats what I said...!

[tripwire00]

This is Steve Stevens which I already knew considering I have the soundtrack on cd and have had for years.All you have to do is google as im sure everyone in here did before you post.Steve deserves an appology.

PS.

Stop stealing songs from Frostwire or those other music theft sites and posting them here everyone on there has no music knowledge

[Smackdaddy9]

Edddie this and Steve that. All of you can suck my dick because you're all fucking stupid. That's all I'm saying.

[ncarolyne34]

This is Steve Stevens playing this song. I had the Top Gun soundtrack and Eddie's name is nowhere on it. You really should correct it to give proper credit to Steve..... The original video with Steve playing it is on here too.

[pontdecheruy]

"Top Gun Anthem"

Single by Harold Faltermeyer and Steve Stevens

from the album Top Gun.

THAT's ALL FOLKS !

(it's true that J0e Satriani plays this song too)!

[BoxerTwoZero]

The guitarist is Steve Stevens, and you're retarded if you think I'm wrong. Steve in the guitar and Harold on the piano.

[firehouse85]

listen all of you it is Eddie who originally wrote and recorded this sone but yes steve stevens does play it with eddie. I am very close with eddies family. HEY areyouoncrack100 you are write these people are retarted stupid and everything else that goes with it. People learn about the band VAN HALEN and its members before you say anything that makes you sound stupid.

[usmusl2]

Yeah, OK, your good friends with Eddie's family, hunh? So where are all the pictures with you and his family together, because they sure aren't on Youtube!

[granvilledrummer]

@firehouse85 very good friends with Eddie my ass. Seeing him in concert and maybe getting a picture with him doesn't make you a very good friend. And besides. IF in fact you are popular enough to be good friends with him, why the fuck do you waste your time on you tube. Dumbass

[areyouoncrack100]

beautiful song :)

[areyouoncrack100]

LIAR...

[areyouoncrack100]

RETARDED PEOPLE LISTEN IT IS NOT FKING STEVE STEVENS ITS BOT JOE SATRIANI AND ITS NOT HAROLD. SO GO SEE EDDIE VAN HALEN BUY A DISC MADE MY HIM OR YOUR A BUNCH OF RETADED PEOPLE ITS EDDIE.... DONT GET MEH PISSED IM NOT TRYING TO PISS YOU OFF IM SAYING A fact ITS EDDIE AND I KNOW IT FOR A FACT PEOPLE GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT YOU RETADS!!!! OMG ITS STEVE STEVENS EHH ITS JOE S. ITS EDDIE VAN HALEN YOU RETARDED PEOPLE GUESS WHAT SCREW ALL OF YOU RETADS!

[30DFlickbook]

There's no need to shout, it will not change the fact that this is Steve and Harold!

[djzwilly]

this isnt EVH its Steve Stevens

[danflink11]

Why is it that every guy between the age of 29-36 believes that a guitar solo with tapping and a whammy bar has to be Eddie Van Halen?

[prinznevsky]

actually, I think its every guy between the ages of 14 and 25. people between 29 and 36 would recognize EVH, and also know this song was not him

[killgard123]

that is definitely steve stevens who is the fucking idiot that said it was eddie. just slap your self right now please, ok i am calm now i feel better

[AdmiralKarelia]

Steve Stevens and Harold Faltermeyer, son.

[zapallo84]

I thought it is Joe Satriani dudes!

[Ravenhead94]

The original version included only 10 tracks. Tracks 11 to 15 are available on a Special Expanded Edition released in 1999. A 2006 reissue adds in five additional tracks, however these are just "of the period" songs that have nothing to do with the movie.

1."Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins 3:36

2."Mighty Wings" by Cheap Trick 3:51

3."Playing With the Boys" by Kenny Loggins 3:59

4."Lead Me On" by Teena Marie 3:47

----END OF PART 1-----

[crazycody3]

MOTHER FUCKER ITS STEVE STEVENS

[KanoakaVirus]

if it was evh he'd probably be tapping this shit! haha

[romeropablo]

It's Joe Satragni, folks.

[crazycody3]

1st. no its not Satch 2. his last name is Satriani.

[woolvett22]

two words shitty movie

[trainboy99]

One word... Epic.

[speeddemon990084]

Man it's such a good thing Stevens admired Eddie so much, and they were such good friends. This probably woulda sucked without Eddie's influence on Steven's.

[annie170768]

It's Steve Stevens not Eddie Van Halen

[silverbullet521]

stevens is better anyway

[slic3234]

Oh my god I'm so relieved this is not Van Halen...

[emmittsmith482]

@slic3234 why?

[falcao023]

[sailing220]

[cdlmn63]

@sailing220 NO IT IS NOT IT IS STEVE STEVENS BILLY IDOLS LEAD GT. PLAYER

[PatVanHalen5150]

Good freaking Christ, Helen Keller could tell that this is not Eddie Van Halen. The tone is nowhere near close.

[raunchy123]

now you made my night that is a funny comment cheers.

[07LTZ400rider]

it's not Eddie Van Halen

[AlaskaNo1]

its steve stevens!

[guitarohman]

dude why did you post this as eddie van halen without actually knowing it was him? did you just think of a guitarist you like and just give him credit for something he didnt do??? or did you just guess instead of googling it? WTF

[fuzzingaround]

Ain't no VH in there.........

[Adnoydal]

So fortunately for us theres no wankfest to sit through.

[cmwuscfan]

anyone known the lyrics to this song ?

[guitarohman]

@cmwuscfan there are no lyrics
